Tags:Wow. Wow. Wow. That's all I can say.
Amazing. Wonderful. Awesome. Ok, there's a couple more words.
Thank you for all the kind & enthusiastic comments and well wishes.
This is such a huge deal. Being a political newcomer and beating an incumbent is really tough. Chris worked so very long and hard for this with the support of such an amazing staff - I am so proud of him and all the people who helped make this a reality. And I am even more excited about the work that he will be beginning now - such an amazing opportunity to do good.
Today we are taking a deep breath. We are celebrating. We are planning. We are smiling.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I'm not a Democrat, not from Oregon and I didn't even vote. I know, shame on me, but I have been checking the results religiously to see if Chris pulled it off. Amid a flood of distrust for ALL politicians, I am, finally, hopeful again. And for that, I am most thankful.
And the guy on the right in the group pic wearing a suit and sneakers? Priceless!
Congrats!

Congratulations.
May your new roles be all you dream of, and aspire to, and nothing you don't.
I pray you will continue to trust in God, have faith in people's essential goodness and always turn to each other first.
Bless you both.

This is so awesome. I came here from Royannna's Blog and found this amazing news and am so happy for all of you and the People of Oregon. I am not from Oregon but do have Family there. I am so Democrat that sometimes people I know don't like me but that is their prolem. I am so thankful that the House and Senate in Washington D.C. is now controlled by the Democrats and Thank God Rumsfeld stepped down.
God Speed in all you do. Your Chris will make a difference and so will you and your son.
